Song Story: I intended to title songs on this album around the various pieces of life going around me. As a freshmen in college, this sort seemed to be how I thought I felt at the time. Busy, excited, spiraling…a whole bunch of things that didn’t really come together but some how had to.

Song Story: They just kept tossing homework at me…like I had time for that. I needed to make music and hang out with my friends. I also wish I knew more about mixing, the end of this is pushing the red.

Song Story: I used a text to speech converter to add a sample to this song. This was basically the result of me playing around with samples and the concepts associated with them. What I learned is that I don’t like samples and that sort of stuff isn’t for me. Trackers, sample players, samplers…none of that suits how I think or work.

Song Story: Wait, I don’t recall this song being on this collection. But there it is. This is left over from an earlier, pre sequencer collection. I remade it using the sequencer software. I think I was just playing around with the software and some MIDI controller effects, that and I really liked the dirty sound the PSR-36 tossed out here.

Song Story: As I started getting closer to the end of the collection, I had about 20 complete songs and 40 fragments that never matured into songs. This was a fragment that I went back and listened to and the rest of the song just manifested out of it. I thought the title was fitting as the song sounded more collected and aware, what I thought a junior in college or even high school should be.

Song Story: Finally, a senior. So much to take in, so much to do, everything seemed to be in front of you. If you could somehow know then what you know today, or have parents who could impart that information on you without alienating you.

Song Story: I never intended for this song to be heard outside of myself. Somehow it made it onto this collection, I think I accidently cut it onto side 1 of the master tape and kept it there. Hip hip hooray. I can’t stand this song, thus the title.

Song Story: I have no idea what this song was originally called. I noticed the file size of one of the other songs on this collection was abnormally large, so I checked it out and found a long silence and this song at the end of it. So I clipped it out and put it here. Good name for it.
